Hi, I'm a newbie on this site although I have owned Fiats for many years, I think the first was about 1985ish when I bought a Fiat Uno. My wife now has a Fiat 500 diesel which she bought new in January 2010 and she loves it. However, one thing that drives me mad is a 'rattle' when changing gear. When I got the garage to look at this we went for a test drive and the guy told me it was the wastegate (dump valve?) and is pefectly normal for these cars.
Now I'm not sure if I'm being taken for a mug so is anyone able to confim if 500 diesels normally make this sound? If not then does anyone know what is causing the problem?
